package.bbclass: support dangling path components

Commit ec2aab09769f4b6817d74d2175afa2b7c7598750 introduced a regression
on packages which contain symlinks with unresolvable path components
(e.g. lsof-dbg).  While assigning a variable, an exception was raised
and the exception handler accessed this variable.

Patch deals both with the dangling path components by assuming them as
valid directories and by avoiding the broken assignment.
